CHAPTER XC: Confusions & Conditions; What The Meeting Is For
NO ONE SEEMED to have known what to answer. Not a single soul spoke. Not the princess, or princes — not even the Queens or Kings. They have kept themselves quiet for a while now. And I hated the uncomfortable eerieness between us.
“Uh-hm.” One of the Kings cleared his throat. I suppose he was the King of Decreto. “As much as I did not want to be prying over your 'miraculous' ideas, young man, I did not seem to like that proposal either.”

Still, it was the same shards of light that blinded my view when I looked up at the sky. A little morning greeting from the heavens, I must say. I then wrapped myself with my usual dirty coat and trod out my tent, eyes puffy and hair frizzy. Yet I kept my mind refreshed. What another bright day to explore the world now.
